Office of the Regional Clerk

The Regional Clerk is a Statutory Officer of the Regional Corporation. Many duties and responsibilities of the Office flow from the statutory authority assigned to the Regional Clerk.

The Regional Clerk's Office is a communication link between the Regional community, its citizens and taxpayers, and Regional Council. We maintain this link in a number of ways:

  • maintenance of the Regional website
  • produce Council Highlights
  • maintain Election Central
  • enhanced community relations
  • arrange for speakers for community groups.

They provides administrative, legislative and clerical support to:

  • Regional Council
  • The Regional Chair
  • Chief Administrative Officer
  • The Corporate Organization

Records Requests

The Clerk is the custodian of all corporate records and documents.

The Clerk is the Co-ordinator of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Personal Privacy Act. If you have a legal right of access to records, which the Region creates and maintains, you may request them from the Regional Clerk's Office.

Council Meetings

The Clerk's Office staff prepares agendas and minutes for Regional Council meetings, all Standing Committees, and most advisory and ad hoc committees and task forces that report to Regional Council.

Find out how to speak at Regional Council or one of its committees.

By-laws

The Regional Clerk's Office staff prepares, and keeps track of, most of the Regional by-laws.

If you need a copy of a bylaw, a report, or a set of minutes, contact the Regional Clerk.
